Pre-Market Briefing for July 10, 2026
Today at a Glance
Previous Session Recap
On July 9, the U.S. stock market climbed across all three major indices, led by semiconductors. The Nasdaq was the strongest performer with a 1.3% gain, while the S&P 500 added 0.81% and the Dow rose 0.27%. Semiconductors and technology drove the rally — Arm Holdings jumped more than 9% — while consumer staples and energy lagged, leaving a clear divergence between sectors.
Current Market Sentiment
Futures are pointing to a modestly weaker open. Nasdaq futures are off by more than 0.5%, suggesting some profit-taking following yesterday's semiconductor rally, and S&P 500 futures are down roughly 0.2%. Prediction markets are pricing in only around a 20% chance of an S&P 500 gain today, underscoring a cautious mood. Oil prices have eased amid ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations, but the biggest swing factor of the day is Delta Air Lines' earnings — the first major report of the season.

Stocks to Watch
Three names with mixed technical signals are worth monitoring. Meta Platforms surged 4.7% yesterday, piercing the upper Bollinger Band, while its RSI sits at 60 — still below overbought — leaving the question of whether the trend can extend. Oracle, by contrast, saw its RSI drop to 33, flashing an oversold reading, and rebounded 2.65% yesterday, making it a candidate to watch for a recovery from its lows. Costco plunged 4.24%, breaking below the lower Bollinger Band, with RSI also at 35; however, given broad weakness across consumer staples, any rebound will need further confirmation.
Today's Game Plan
Stay disciplined today, and have a great one.
